He found that the ice block at the bottom of the test tube did not melt. What can we
conclude from this experiment?
A. Metal gauze is a poor heat conductor; thus preventing heat transfer from the water to the
ice block.
B. Water is a poor heat conductor because it took time to transfer heat from the top to the
bottom by conduction.
C. Ice is a good heat insulator because the vibration of the ice particles was restrained
during the heating process.
D. Glass is a poor heat conductor; thus slowly transferring heat from the top to the bottom
of water in the test tube.

JISMO 2022 5
14. Algae are part of aquatic ecosystems. However, they can grow rapidly because nutrients
such as nitrogen and phosphorus are leached from agricultural areas near bodies of water.
The probability of leaching increases when precipitation occurs frequently and leads to algal
bloom. Which of the following options incorrectly explains the environmental effect of algal
bloom?
A. Algae block sunlight from reaching underwater, so the photosynthetic rate of aquatic
plants decreases.
B. Fish adapt by eating algae as nutritious food, so the fish populations eventually increase.
C. Dissolved oxygen levels decrease and disrupt the food chain in aquatic ecosystems.
D. Red tides may occur because some algae can produce toxins, so organisms in the higher
food chain accumulate the toxins.
15. Dry ice is the solid phase of carbon dioxide. The temperature of dry ice can be as low as
-78°C. Therefore, it is useful for freezing foods such as ice cream and preserving biological
samples such as animal cells and vaccines. Salsa did an experiment to study how dry ice
changed phase at room temperature. She used a big dry ice cube. Then, she dipped a metal
spoon in hot water and rubbed it over the dry ice as illustrated below. As soon as she rubbed
it, she heard screeching sounds from the dry ice.
Which of the following options correctly explains why there were screeching sounds coming
from the dry ice?
A. The dry ice evaporated quickly when rubbed with a metal spoon, creating a rapid vapor
pressure that vibrated the spoon and produced a sound.
B. The sublimation was accelerated when the hot metal spoon rubbed against the dry ice, so
the released carbon dioxide vibrated the spoon rapidly and produced a sound.
C. The dry ice melted on contact with the hot spoon and then evaporated into gas due to
the high-temperature differences, vibrating the air and producing a sound.
D. The dry ice evaporated and sublimed at the same time, creating a rapid phase change and
pressure on the hot metal spoon so that it vibrated and produced a sound.
